Most follow a dirt path, although there are some boardwalk sections and gravel. Along the trail are wooden bridges, wooden stairs and some sitting benches. Much of the trail is under a canopy of trees and does not see a lot of sun - so dress in layers and watch for slippery sections along the trail especially on the bridges.
The Holland Creek Trail has many highlights located along the route including a waterfall, parks, viewpoints, Colliery Dam and a reservoir. This hike can be cut in half when it is accessed from Methuen Rd and made even shorter when accessed from the Mackie Rd parking lot near the waterfall.
